Now more than ever, people need managers they can trust and rely upon to inspire and lead them to be their best selves. On top of supporting their teams, managers are expected to plan, adapt, communicate and make things happen. For that, a leader must learn to lead with confidence.
Leading Today’s Workforce cohort is a 5-week program (2-hour weekly learning sessions) of interactive workshops where you will learn how to lead with confidence and effectiveness in today's complex world.
What's included
Week 1
Prevent Burnout for Managers
While middle managers are one of the most populous roles within many organizations, research indicates these leaders often describe themselves as lost, torn between multiple forces, isolated, and thus, lonely. In this workshop, participants will take a deep dive into the experience of loneliness and isolation of middle managers. Participants will gain insight in organizational and interpersonal challenges middle managers face and create an individualized toolkit of practical solutions and actionable mindsets to navigate their own experience of loneliness.
Week 2
Set Goals for Your Team
Build unstoppable team momentum with goals that motivate, unite, and deliver results. Ever notice how some teams seem to achieve the impossible while others stay stuck in the safe zone? The difference often lies in how their goals are set. In this energizing workshop, participants discover how to craft goals that ignite their team's ambition while keeping everyone aligned and moving forward together. You'll learn practical techniques for matching your team's unique strengths to your organization's biggest opportunities, turning "we should" into "we did." Whether you're building a new team or elevating an existing one, you'll walk away ready to set the kind of goals that turn Monday meetings into milestone moments. It’s how teams turn dreams into done!
Week 3
Lead Inclusive Teams
This hands-on approach to empowering diversity and belonging at work engages participants in cutting-edge theory and practices of leading groups of heterogenous people at work – people who are diverse in character or content – all while respecting their uniqueness in an empathetic, bias-free way. Participants will leave this learning session with new practical approaches to expand their capacity to lead themselves and others with an authentic experience of inclusion and belonging for all.
Week 4
Build Trust with Your Team
Trust is an essential component of leadership that can be challenging to build and easy to lose. We’ve built this class around six key traits of trust, the THREAD model: together, honest, resourceful, empowering, approachable, and dependable. In this course, you will discover where you need to grow and which traits to develop. You will learn actionable steps for becoming a more trustworthy leader. And you will learn what to watch out for when applying these key traits.
Week 5
Make High-Quality Decisions
This course is for those who make important decisions. It is ideal for situations when you have time, resources, and the ability to aggregate multiple and, hopefully, differing points of view to arrive at the best possible decision. Easy to say, hard to do. Because all of us have a natural and automatic tendency to jump to conclusions, this class is meant to help you temper the rush to judgment with specific, actionable models that balance the benefits of clear-eyed deliberation with our equally beneficial faculty of human insight and intuition.
